Pros

Working with at risk youth. The kids are the best part of this job. They come from a variety of backgrounds. Some staff are so great with them. There's a lot of freedom for weekend staff to create the days. Off campus volunteer work was the best for the kids.

Cons

Pay, hours, same shifts every week, employees who seem burned out, poor supervisor support. This job pays horribly. For the staff who sleep on campus... working mandatory 48-50 hours... not being "allowed" to leave at night even to go to the grocery store or to get a breath of fresh air... is horrible! It's hard to maintain sanity when the employees don't leave the environment for days.

Pros

When you worked along side staff that you really enjoyed and cared for, there wasn't an issue. A strong team environment meant that you could be assured that you were going to be supported even when there were difficult days. It was really rewarding to build a solid relationship with the kids. When the kids opened up about their lives, you felt like you were really accomplishing your intended goal. It was fun to spend time doing enjoyable things that encouraged the kids to act like kids.

Cons

There were great discrepancies with the management team. One supervisor might advise you to act one way in a situation, when the other supervisors would reprimand you for doing the same thing. There were times that it honestly felt like trying to plug holes in a dam with your finger. What we did didn't ever feel like it was enough.
